Hello all,
New to Hackint0sh, and new to Mac OsX, but definitely not new to computers (many years in Linux, and sorry, yes Windows :-) ).
I have an Asus P5N32-E SLI Motherboard (with an Nvidia 680i chipset), and an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU. I've tried to install the JaS 10.5.4 DVD, but had multiple failures - the failure varied based on whether I used a USB drive or an IDE drive, not surprisingly based on what I've seen. With the IDE drive, I received what appears to be the dreaded "still waiting for root device".
Ok, not to worry I figured - using the JaS was just a trial run. What I'd like to do - and what I --was-- thinking would be possible - would be to use the new boot132 loader and the retail DVD (I want to always use retail DVDs personally). However, based on my testing to this point, I worry that even the new boot132 loader that will load a retail DVD will NOT work with my machine due to the different chipset.
Am I correct, or am I incorrect? I found one post of someone using Kalyway distribution, which I assume has a hacked kernel with the nvidia chipset support, but I really want to use a retail DVD. Am I out of luck?
Sadly I leaped before I looked, and already ordered the DVD from Amazon (yeah, I know, I should wait for snow leopard, but...). However, if this won't work, I'll obviously just cancel the order - semi-fortunate in that it was backordered until next week.
Thanks everyone!

Maryland's total incidents of crime and total crime rate lowest since 1975
Violent crime, homicides and property crime driven down to the lowest rates since 1975
ANNAPOLIS, MD (August 15, 2013) – State officials today announced that 2012 year-end crime data compiled by the Maryland State Police and submitted to the FBI for use in the national crime statistics report shows that violent crime, homicides and property crime in Maryland have been driven down to the lowest rates since 1975.Total crime has been driven down 2.9% since 2011, with 5,701 fewer crimes reported. This marks the lowest number of total crimes and total crime rate ever reported in Maryland since the Uniform Crime Reporting program was adopted in 1975.
"Our most solemn obligation is to protect the public's safety,"said Governor O'Malley. "We've lost too many moms and dads, sons and daughters this year, so we know there's still more work to do. But we should honor the hard work, commitment, and dedication of local, state, and federal law enforcement officials—and community and neighborhood leaders across the State—that drove down crime last year to its lowest levels in recorded history."
In 2012, together with the hardworking members of Maryland's law enforcement, the State drove down the number of homicides by 6.5 percent; robberies by 1.6 percent; aggravated assaults by 3.4 percent; incidents of breaking and entering by 6.4 percent; larceny/theft by 1.0 percent; and motor vehicle thefts by 9.8 percent. Rapes increased slightly by 3.3 percent. Eighteen jurisdictions drove down total crime while 14 jurisdictions drove down specific violent crime categories such as homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Eighteen jurisdictions drove down property crimes such as breaking and entering, larceny/theft, and motor vehicle theft.
"Coordination among local, state and federal law enforcement agencies is making a difference in Maryland," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. "Sending armed felons and violent repeat offenders to prison reduces crime rates and increases public confidence."
"The numbers remain historically low because of the efforts of many who are committed to the fight against violent crime," said Colonel Marcus L. Brown, Superintendent of the Maryland State Police. "Thanks to law enforcement and community partnerships, together we are making an impact on the lives of our citizens through purposed policing. We will continue to dedicate ourselves to the mission of public safety in our state."
The O'Malley-Brown Administration has set strategic goals to reduce crime in Maryland. From 2006 to 2012, Maryland drove down violent crime 26.3 percent – exceeding the Administration's goal to drive down violent crime by 20 percent by end of 2012. The administration has set another goal to drive violent crime down by another 20 percent by the end of 2018. The Administration also set a goal to reduce crimes against women and children by 25 percent by 2012. From 2006 to 2012, Maryland has driven down juvenile homicides 54 percent and homicides against women 17.1 percent. Law enforcement officers and public safety professionals throughout Maryland continue to work together to achieve this goal.
One of the most significant steps of the past year has been the expansion of the Safe Streets program. Safe Streets is an offender-based model that institutes collaboration and information sharing across all levels of government to dramatically reduce crime. The objective of Safe Streets is significant violent crime reduction through seamless coordination, consistent interagency collaboration, and information sharing by focusing on the core group of offenders who commit the majority of violent offenses in a local jurisdiction.
Safe Streets has been bolstered by other state-wide initiatives: advances in technology; more effective warrant service, continued focus on violent repeat offenders; and improved supervision of offenders on probation and parole through the Violence Prevention Initiative. Maryland's inter-state partnerships with public safety counterparts in the District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New York continue to prove effective in tracking and monitoring violent offenders who move across jurisdictional boundaries. Other tools such as License Plate Readers, automated pawnshop reporting, and the state's Criminal Justice Dashboard have been instrumental in supporting efforts to fight crime.
These better choices are leading to better results. Together, in partnership with our courageous law enforcement officers and community leaders, we can continue to drive down violent crime and improve public safety.

text: A brilliant and innovative 12-string guitar player, James Blackshaw was born in 1981 in London, where he continues to make his home. Another in a long string of amazing British acoustic guitar wizards, Blackshaw has been compared at various times to Bert Jansch, Davy Graham, Robbie Basho, John Fahey, Glenn Jones, Jack Rose, and Leo Kottke, among others, but his sound, often modal and based on improvising across set themes, is entirely his own. Blackshaw released several limited CD-R albums as he began his career, including 2004's Celeste and Lost Prayers and Motionless Dancers, 2005's Sunshrine, and the live Waking into Sleep in 2006. Important Records issued O True Believers in 2006, after which Blackshaw moved to Tompkins Square Records, which released The Cloud of Unknowing in 2007 and began reissuing his black catalog (Celeste and Sunshrine both reappeared from Tompkins Square in 2008). A second Tompkins Square CD of new material, Litany of Echoes, was also issued in 2008. Released in 2010, All Is Falling featured Blackshaw working in the studio with electric 12-string guitar for the first time. Love Is the Plan, the Plan Is Death was released on Important in 2012. It featured Blackshaw playing nylon-string guitar, piano, Hammond B-3 organ, and vibraphone. In early 2013, he collaborated with pianist and composer Lubomyr Melnyk on the album Watchers. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

CLOVER — The Clover Blue Eagle boys' basketball team opened the 2012-13 season with a 47-44 win against Charlotte Country Day.
It was the Clover debut for coach Bailey Jackson, a Clover native and former Fort Mill High School coach.
The Blue Eagles bolted to a 15-3 first-quarter lead and held off a late Charlotte Country Day rally.
Balanced scoring contributed to the win, with junior forward Alex Thompson scoring 11 points against the Charlotte team.
Senior Taylor Hoover finished with 10 points; Ladarius Adams, 8; Arnaldo Toro and Jevon Blake, 7 each; and Austin Stone and Bryce Allen, 2 each.
But, the Blue Eagles fell to a fast-paced, hot shooting Hunter Huss team 70-51 in a home game Friday.
Arnaldo Toro, a 6-foot-7 sophomore, made his presence felt in a closely-contested first quarter.
Toro scored the first basket for the Blue Eagles and later had a mammoth shot rejection before knotting the score at 7 midway through the first quarter.
After Hunter Huss spurted to a 15-7 lead, R.J. Moore scored and sophomore Bryce Allen nailed a 3-pointer, slicing the Huss lead to 15-12.
Toro had a productive second quarter with help from Moore and Hoover and the Blue Eagles stayed within striking distance, trailing 35-25 at the half.
But the visiting Huss team went on a tear in the second half, expanding the lead and closing strong for the win.
Though disappointed with the home loss, Jackson remained upbeat after the game.
"There were times when we played as well as they did," he said . "We played a good team tonight."
The Blue Eagles play at Hunter Huss on Friday. The action begins at 8 p.m. following the girls' game.

Iowa State says data breach could affect thousands
The Social Security numbers of nearly 30,000 people who enrolled at Iowa State University over a 17-year period were exposed in a data breach, school officials announced Tuesday.

There is no evidence that any of the personal files were accessed, the school said, and the records didn't contain student financial information.

The school system joined districts across the state in implementing the state's new math curriculum last year, said Coline Worthy, who handles curriculum and instruction for Cleburne County Schools. The local district also is implementing new reading curriculum this year, according to Worthy, a former instruction specialist for the Alabama State Department of Education who also handles professional development and certification for the Cleburne County school system.
The state Board of Education approved the Alabama College and Career Ready Standards, Alabama's version of Common Core standards, in 2010 to increase rigor for students and to better prepare students for life after high school.
"We can already see huge, huge improvement from the beginning of the year about how kids are learning and how they're able to think," said Superintendent Claire Dryden.
But two of the board members who have children in the school system said they're seeing lower grades and more frustration.
"Our grades are dropping," said board member Donya Beam.
Board member Hope Lee agreed.
"Ours are too, and it's causing lots of stress," Lee said.
Worthy did a presentation for the board including an explanation of why the changes were needed.
"Business leaders all over Alabama are complaining about graduates who come to work for them and can't solve problems," Worthy said. "You have to follow them around telling them what to do."
The state introduced the new curriculum focused on teaching students thinking skills rather than just facts, Dryden said.
In Cleburne County, the administrators have analyzed test data and decided to focus especially on the middle school years, where students tend to lose proficiency, Worthy said.
Dryden said the loss in proficiency among middle schoolers is a statewide problem. She said the curriculum wasn't lined up properly moving from elementary school to middle school grades. Dryden also said there has been a lack of professional development for middle school teachers.
Throughout the state, students are finishing third or fourth grade well prepared to move on, Worthy said. However, data shows that student proficiency begins to drop in middle school.
In Cleburne County, students who are considered proficient in fourth grade have a 50 percent chance of being categorized non-proficient when they finish fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth grades, Worthy said.
To help improve proficiency among middle-schoolers, Worthy said, teachers will conduct daily assessments to see if the students are learning the course material.
"We would like for teachers at the end of the day to say, 'OK, out of 28 students in my class, I know that four of them did not accomplish the goal today,' and then create a plan as a result of that," Worthy said.
In addition, the school system will be teaching reading and writing in all subjects not just reading or English, Worthy said.
This all requires extra training for the teachers who may be unsure of how to implement the changes in the classroom, Dryden said.
According to Worthy, school officials have put together a team that is attending training at Jacksonville State University in instructional strategies. She said those team members will incorporate the new material into their classrooms and then share the new techniques with their colleagues.
The increased rigor means teachers will have to help students work up to the level where they should be performing, Worthy said.
"We really try to make this not be a stressful thing, by giving them (teachers) things that they can do to ease through this," Worthy said.
For instance, Dryden said, teachers read through the first assessment with students to make sure they know what they're supposed to do.
"And then, we start backing off as they become more able to do it," Dryden said. "Some classes are ready for that and some classes and some students are not ready for that."
Change is hard, Dryden said. There is always some difficulty as teachers and students get used to new curricula and teaching methods. But she said she thinks the end result will be worth it.
"It's a wonderful thing," Dryden said of the new standards. "It eases instruction and the kids are doing well. So that's what we're trying."

What kinds of desks are there? There are executive desks from office furniture collections and school desks built with durable materials and functional features. All of our models come from leading school and office furniture manufacturers, and many even include a complimentary extended warranty.
What is the best desk for a classroom?
Choosing the ideal classroom desks can be quite a feat, considering all of the options and factors that must be considered. The best desks depend on the classroom layout, budget and students. The most budget-friendly desks feature laminate desktops, which have basic damage resistance but might lose their lustre after many years of classroom use. Hard plastic desktops are incredibly durable. Academia's exclusive WoodStone desktops offer the same damage resistance as hard plastic, but they cost and weigh significantly less.
The basic desk design provides a surface on which students can take notes and do assignments, but there are a number of additional components that can help everyone's day run more smoothly. Built-in bookboxes under the work surface enable students to keep everything they need close at hand. This will save the time and hassle of rummaging through backpacks during lessons or running back and forth to lockers to retrieve forgotten items.
If you want to make sure that your school desks will stay in shape, U-braces can be quite helpful. This small piece of added reinforcement wraps around desk legs to ensure many years of sturdy standing. For a colorful desk enhancement, try our attractive line of Educational Edge school desks. A hint of extra vibrant hues will brighten up your study space, creating a more inviting learning atmosphere.
What are the benefits of combo desks?
More and more schools are choosing the super-convenient chair desk option. Combo desks include an attached school chair and work surface, so you can be sure that desk and seat heights are perfectly proportionate. With this option, it is easier to line up and arrange classroom furniture and keep the space looking neat.
How do I choose an office desk?
Whether you are a teacher, student or administrator, everyone needs a comfortable space to work in. Once you have chosen the proper surfaces and arrangements for the children in your school, it is time to move on to the teacher's desk and the principal's office. Like any other executive, a school principal needs a classy work space that projects competence and professionalism. The first step to achieving this effect is by furnishing the work space with an attractive office desk.
From company president to entry-level intern, every professional works better when they have an accommodating space arrangement. Office desks come in the basic rectangular arrangement as well as u- and l-shapes. The basic design will work for someone who only needs a computer and a few papers accessible. However, high-level executives need more space for additional equipment.
Pedestals provide box and file drawers so office supplies and important documents can be stored right in the desk. The right combination of drawer configurations will depend on what field a professional is working in and how they like to arrange their office. Many of our office desks come from full furniture collections so they can be coordinated with credenzas, hutches and other pieces for a fully-matched space.
There are quite a few special features which can make a work space even more attractive. Wire-management grommets make it easy to route cables away from the desktop, so the surface remains clutter-free. Reception desks come with raised transaction counters which enable administrative assistants to have a more private work area within an open waiting room. Quite a few of our office desks have attractive accents such as edge detailing, stylish drawer pulls and more.
At Hertz Furniture, we know that everyone works better when they have a large work surface and accessible storage. Our office desks and school desks are designed to make your days as pleasant and fulfilling as possible. We are happy to help you design the ideal space and furnish it with the best furniture out there.

With a durable design that incorporates the latest looks, trends and colors, you get the best of everything. Inspiration combo desks, preschool tables and drafting chairs have the features you need to enhance any modern classroom environment. With tons of colors, sizes and special design features to choose from, this classroom furniture can be coordinated with your decor and custom requirements.
One great thing about having the Inspiration classroom collection is that you can get all of the chairs and desks you need for your school in one place. When you order a number of pieces from the same line, you also know that they will look good together. Rather than hunting around for sizes and styles that match and fit correctly, you can rest assured that everything will synthesize well in your space.
School chairs might just be the most important classroom furniture for your students. Student chair design determines how comfortable your class will be. Well-supported students won't be distracting themselves and their friends by constantly shifting in their seats, but you can bet that uncomfortable students will. With proper support, you can help children maximize their productivity in class and get as much as they can out of each and every lesson.
There are lots of special design features that make inspiration classroom chairs uniquely suited for a modern learning space. Soft plastic shells with flex action let students lean back and get comfortable without causing damage to the chair. Sturdy support is supplied by 17-reinforcement ridges and a 16-gauge steel frame. For extra convenience, a built-in carry handle and stacking capabilities make transport and storage easier than ever.
Beyond the basic design which is part of all Inspiration classroom seating, there are lots of choices and custom options to consider. A selection of heights lets children in any grade sit properly. With tons of shell colors, you can choose one hue which works well with your space or brighten up the classroom with a colorful selection. Bookboxes are great because they eliminate work surface clutter while providing students with an accessible space for their books. With casters on the bottom of school chairs, a classroom can be rearranged without and lifting at all.
While the standard four-leg design is functional, it is not always the ideal choice just because it is the obvious one. For schools on a tight budget, the value chair option can really make a difference, especially when you are ordering in large quantities. cantilever chairs have a futuristic design which maximizes legroom in a cool contemporary way. Swivel chairs are perfect for the computer room or science lab where students need to access a larger surface comfortably.
Especially in a high school setting, there may be students who don't fit in the standard-size student chairs. Besides making people uncomfortable, chairs that are not built to hold the people sitting in them can potentially get damaged and cause injury. The Inspiration XL Series fits right in with regular Inspiration models, but supports taller, broader students. With extra reinforcement ridges, a higher weight capacity and wider seat, the XL chair ensures that every member of the class has an appropriate place to sit.
Once you have chosen some student chairs, you are going to need some classroom desks as well. The curved ergonomic tops and colored bookboxes of Inspiration school desks look cool and really help students in class. With 18-gauge steel, height-adjustable desks, it is easy to make sure that work surfaces are at a comfortable height for your students. Choose student desks with colored accents that coordinate with classroom colors or find a complementary hue that will add a bit of diversity to the space.
Many schools prefer to have combo desks rather than having separate school desks and classroom chairs. An Inspiration student chair desk gives you the unbeatable design features of inspiration chairs combined with tough, lightweight WoodStone desktops. Combo desks save money and ensure your chair and desk heights always match up. If you have the right number of student chair desks in the room, you know that class is ready to start and students won't have to wander around looking for a missing chair or table. While classic combo desks are usually a good choice, sled-base units are ideal for carpeted floors. There is also the swivel chair option which makes it easier for students to slide in and out of their seats.
In addition to the basics, the Inspiration school furniture line also offers a great plus-shaped preschool table. The shape is great because it lets students work individually, in pairs or in larger groups all while seated at one school table. With the increased focus on collaboration and group work in today's classrooms, this shape is an ideal choice for any early-childhood setting. Inspiration drafting chairs are another wonderful option for schools with an art room or design studio.
Let the Inspiration series inspire some serious innovation, development and growth among your students. With so many great pieces and design features to choose from, students of every age in every type of classroom can enjoy contemporary styling and unbeatable comfort.

Softball: Ohio pitcher strikes out 34 in win over American Heritageby Jeff Greer
Sometimes a weeknight roundup doesn't quite cover an event with enough pizzazz.
On Monday night, we got a short blurb in our softball roundup explaining that Poland Seminary, a school from Poland, Ohio, defeated American Heritage 2-1 in 16 innings. But the first comment after the score is hard to miss: Poland Seminary ace Erin Gabriel struck out 34 (34!) over the 16-inning affair.
Poland Seminary (4-0), which is ranked 12th in the nation in ESPN's national high school softball poll, plays the Post's top-ranked team and the second-ranked team in the nation, Palm Beach Gardens, on Tuesday night.

Obesity Boosts Risk of Developing Various Types of CancersPosted: Thursday, February 21, 2008
Being obese or even overweight may boosts a person's risk of developing up to a dozen different types of cancers, a European research analysis shows.
It is already known that obesity is a major issue worldwide and raises the risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart problems. According to the World Health Organization, there are 400 million people classified as obese and 7.6 million people died last year, worldwide, because of cancer, the American Cancer Society reported.
Researchers at the University of Manchester, northwestern England, analyzed data from 141 studies that monitored the health of 282,000 people from Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia who experienced weight gain at some point of the study.
The benchmark of fat was the body mass index (BMI), in which the individual's weight in kilos is divided by the square of the person's height in meters. Individuals with a BMI of 25-29.9 are considered overweight, while those with a BMI of 30 or more are obese.
The subjects were followed for about nine to 15 years, with researchers tracking their BMI and correlating it with incidents of cancer.
The researchers found that being obese influenced the chances of developing cancer differently in men and women. In men, an average gain of 33 pounds increased the risk of esophageal cancer by 52 percent, thyroid cancer by 33 percent, and colon and kidney cancers each by 24 percent. In women, a weight gain of 29 pounds increased the risk of cancer in the uterus and gall bladder by nearly 60 percent, esophagus by 51 percent and kidney by 34 percent, the study said.
"Increased BMI is associated with increased risk of common and less common malignancies. For some cancer types, associations differed between sexes and populations of different ethnic origins," said Andrew Renehan, a cancer specialist at the University of Manchester, who led the study.
The chances of men with a higher BMI developing rectal cancer and malignant melanoma also rose, as did the risk of women getting post-menopausal breast, pancreatic, thyroid, and colon cancers. The risk of leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and multiple myeloma rose in both sexes. The research also found that the association between increased BMI and breast cancer in Asia-Pacific populations was stronger than in any other ethnic group.
"The number of deaths per year attributable to obesity is about 30,000 in the UK and 10 times that in the USA, where obesity has been estimated to have overtaken smoking in 2005 as the main preventable cause of illness and premature death. Efforts will be needed to increase education on diet and physical activity," epidemiologist Dr. Susanna Larson and Professor Alicja Wolk said commenting on the study.
Scientists do not know for sure how being overweight could make people more susceptible to cancer. "One of the hypotheses is that the presence of excess fat cells could affect the levels of hormones in your body. At a cellular level, that may favor the development of tumors in humans," Renehan said. However, Dr. Renehan said there is no definitive proof that being fat itself causes cancer.
"To make the link between cause and effect, we need to tick several boxes. This study begins to tick the first two or three boxes, but more research is needed to confirm it," Renehan said.
Whether or not being obese increases the risk of developing different types of cancer, one thing is for sure. Losing weight is of great help in preventing people getting in trouble.
"The simple message is that, if you manage to keep a healthy body weight, you will have a lower risk of developing cancer," said Ed Yong, of Cancer Research United Kingdom quoted by the Associated Press.
But how can people lose weight when "there are many, many things in our social and physical environmental that make it easy to gain weight," American Cancer Society epidemiologist Michael Thun, MD, MS, said. "Food is everywhere, and physical activity is no longer built into our daily lives. For most people it is voluntary. They know that obesity is linked to heart disease and diabetes. But the average person on the street would still be surprised that obesity is related to cancer risk."

The Pink Nectar Café: Myths and Mysteries James Bishop Jr. '58
Wildcat Publishing (2011)
Bishop, a journalist and writer previously based in Washington, D.C., and New York, went to Sedona shortly after his mother's death and settled there. He was unexpectedly drawn to the zeitgeist of the town and its New Age embrace of Native American traditions and faiths. The book's dozen essays reflect Bishop's conversion from an East Coast skeptic to a man willing to be enchanted by—and to live peacefully with—things he cannot explain. The tagline on each essay in The Pink Nectar Café (from a song by Iris DeMent) is, "Let the mystery be!"
Slender though this volume is, the essays cover a lot of ground, from "Wicked Navajo Winds" and "Ghostwalker," stories of white encounters with native belief, to "The Lady Who Blew the Whistle," about a one-woman campaign to bring down the board of trustees of the Museum of Northern Arizona, to "The Dying River," whose protagonist is a bureaucrat trying to stem overdevelopment of a fragile watershed.
Some of the essays veer into territory that many readers will find difficult to credit—"Grand Canyon Secrets" describes theories of Egyptian ancestry for the Hopi and Puebloan peoples, for example—and Bishop can clearly live with that. Taken as a whole, the essays make a powerful case for the Southwest as the continent's most enduringly unknowable and iconoclastic locale, what its 16th-century Spanish conquerors called "the northern mystery."

Public Comment Period Open; Meeting Scheduled for Montrose, Dove Creek
WESTERN SAN JUANS – A 60-day public comment period has been opened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to gather information from the public and the scientific community concerning the agency's recommendation to list the Gunnison sage grouse under the Endangered Species Act.
Fish and Wildlife officials announced the proposed listing on Jan. 10.
Current scientific evidence, officials say, suggests that the species is in danger of extinction.
"It's our proposal to list it as endangered with designated critical habitat," U.S. Fish and Wildlife Western Colorado Supervisor Patty Gelatt said last week. "A 60-day comment period started [on Jan. 11] and will be open until March 12. We are encouraging the public to make comments."
The large, ground-nesting bird known for its elaborate courtship displays on its breeding grounds now occupies only seven percent of its historic range. Fish and Wildlife officials believe there are approximately 5,000 breeding birds remaining in various sagebrush habitats in and around the Gunnison Basin and southeastern Utah.
State conservation agencies, in partnership with federal agencies, are working on landscape-level, voluntary conservation planning efforts to conserve Gunnison sage-grouse habitat. Those efforts have been effective as the largest remaining Gunnison sage grouse population has been relatively stable over the past 12 years. Work remains to stabilize six other remaining populations in the region.
"The Gunnison population remains relatively stable but the six satellite populations have been declining in recent years," Gelatt said. "Sage grouse need these large scale landscapes of contiguous habitat and when you start to fragment those areas, it's a threat to the species."
Under the Endangered Species Act, the Fish and Wildlife Service is required to also propose potential critical habitat. In accordance with that requirement, the agency has proposed 1.7 million acres of critical habitat. Specifying the habitat essential for the conservation of the species, as required by law, helps federal agencies identify where to focus their efforts to benefit the species. Earlier this year, President Barack Obama directed that any future designations of critical habitat carefully consider all public comments on relevant science and economic impact, including those that suggest methods for minimizing regulatory burdens. If the listing is finalized, any potential critical habitat designation will include a full analysis of economic impact, including impact on jobs, and will strive, to the extent permitted by law, to avoid unnecessary burdens and costs on states, tribes, localities, and the private sector.
While Sheep Mountain Alliance Executive Director Hilary Cooper said it is unfortunate that the species is close to being listed as endangered, she believes further habitat conservation work will eventually pay off.
"An endangered species listing is the last tool we have to use to protect the habitat of a species and it is extremely unfortunate that we are there," Cooper said. "It is an indication that our land use impacts are out of balance with nature. However landowners and ranchers in San Miguel County have been working diligently to preserve and improve habitat for the bird and in the process have recognized that sagebrush restoration, healthy rangelands and preservation of land values are symbiotic. The San Miguel Basin Working Group has been effective in bringing a diverse coalition of stakeholders together to proactively address habitat restoration and perhaps with this listing and even greater awareness and action we will see the bird come back in our region and across the west."
U.S. Fish and Wildlife is hosting two more public meetings to disseminate information about the proposed endangered species listings. Meetings will be held at the Montrose Holiday Inn Express will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 30, and in Dove Creek at the Dove Creek Community Center on Thursday, Jan. 31. Both meetings are from 5-7 p.m. A first meeting was held on Jan. 23 in Gunnison.
Comments on each proposed rule must be received within 60 days, on or before March 12.
Comments can be submitted electronically at regulations.gov. In the Keyword box, enter Docket No. FWS–R6–ES–2012–0108, which is the docket number for this rulemaking. Then, in the Search panel on the left side of the screen, under the Document

With that in mind, renowned survival evidence medium James Van Praagh is coming to Reno for one show on Saturday at the Grand Sierra Resort.
Van Praagh's career took off in the early 1990s on the NBS show "The Other Side," which chronicled people's dreams, sightings and other paranormal encounters. In the nearly 20 years since, he has taken his abilities in communicating with the dead to numerous other talk shows ("Oprah," "Larry King Live," "48 Hours" to name a few), written numerous books and his current big project is as co-executive producer of the CBS drama series "Ghost Whisperer," now in its fourth season and starring Jennifer Love Hewitt.
"Books reach one audience and television reaches a whole different audience," Van Praagh said in an interview with the Sparks Tribune. "The goal is to change people's consciousness of the world of life after death."
The stories in "Ghost Whisperer" are based on Van Praagh's actual experiences, though he said Hewitt's character is based on paranormal investigator Mary Ann Winkowski, a Cleveland woman who specializes in helping spirits trapped between the living world and the spirit world.
Even though he talks to people who have the power to float, Van Praagh says he has his feet firmly planted on the ground. He describes himself as a "regular kind of guy" and says he uses a lot of humor in his work. His live appearances allow him to get to know his audience, which he says helps his believability. At his monthly sessions in Laguna Beach, Calif., he says he gets a lot of repeat attendees who "love the energy in the room."
"What happens is people get to know me and get a sense that I'm genuine and I'm a good person," he said. "You know if someone is BS-ing you or not."
It is up to each individual to decide whether or not Van Praagh is conducting the soul train or just hauling manure. It all comes down to whether you believe the information he verbalizes is truly coming from spirits he claims to see standing next to audience members or if he is simply putting out information that is so generic it is likely to resonate with someone in even a remote way. Whatever your take on his "powers," it is hard to deny his easy-going, personable style that puts people at ease, no doubt adding to his credibility.
Van Praagh's books and seminars try to help people tap into their own psychic abilities. He says that everyone has the ability to communicate with spirits but that not everyone's senses have the right tuning. To use his words to describe why he has the ability: "My antennae is higher, my bandwidth is higher."
Van Praagh's biography on his Web site says that when another psychic first foretold he'd one day be working as a medium, his reaction was that he had enough trouble working with live people, much less the dead. A lot has happened since then, however.
"Things have changed quite a bit," Van Praagh said. "I find this work is an incredible opportunity for me in the world. To do this work and demonstrate unconditional love and healing to millions — it's the best work ever."
As with any job, there is both good and bad.
"The hardest part of my job is not talking to dead people," he said. "The hard part is I see the potential of each person and they don't see it themselves. I see their gifts and their abilities and they have no clue about them."
Van Praagh's beliefs read like a new-age handbook, but he has a different name for them.
"My religion is called 'love,' " he said. "I believe all religions have bits of the truth but no one religion has all the truth.
"If religion is based upon love then it's true," he continued, "but if it's based upon fear then it's limiting God and I think God is limitless."
James Van Praagh will be at the Grand Sierra Resort on Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Grand Theater. Tickets are $16.50 and $33 and can be purchased by calling (800) 648-3568 ($2 handling charge) or between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. at the Grand Sierra ticket counter near the main desk in the lobby.

As someone who has known Shelby County Schools Supt. John Aitken for almost 20 years, it came as a great shock to be informed by Wendi Thomas that Aitken is burdened with too much "baggage" to lead the unified school district (Feb. 3 column, "Farewell to a man we never knew").
Is it his legacy of excellence as a teacher, principal and administrator that cannot be abided? Or is it his community reputation as a man of sincere faith and personal integrity? Perhaps it is his admirable stewardship of the public funds. Or is it the public recognition and accolades that he has received from his peers throughout Tennessee and beyond?
As the parent of three children who have attended Shelby County Schools, I believe I am owed an explanation about Thomas' perceptions of Aitken's "baggage." Her views most assuredly do not align with those of thousands of parents who over the years have entrusted their children's education and care to Aitken.

Bad Food, Awful Service – I just had dinner with husband there last night. We ordered beef fajita and an appetizer. The beef fajita was very bland and the beef was extremely dry. It was hard to chew and swallow. So when one of the 2 waiters asked if everything was okay, I decided to let him know about the dish. His response was it was our fault for not telling the waiter who took the order how we liked the beef to be cooked. So they screwed up our meal. I thought it was very irresponsible to response a customer that way. At this point, we will never go back again and we will tell all our friends not to go there either.
HORRENDOUS with a side of ROACHES – Since the Atlantic Ave. location is not listed I felt compelled to review here. It was SO BAD that I got a Citysearch account just to put the word out. We sat for 15 minutes before our order was taken. We were one of TWO tables in the entire place. After cutting into my bean burrito, everything slid right through the fork because the mixture was so thin. When i say thin, I mean could have sucked it through a straw thin, watery. Then I tasted it and it was flavor-free and ice cold. My Girlfriends food was also cold. We then had to wait and try to get the waiters attention to tell him. Finally he took the food to the kitchen, as we waited and debated whether or not 2 leave we had to little visitors to our table, ROACHES.This place is really low class, low quality and a dead atmosphere.
ROACHES and cold runny food. If you are a sadist, this place is for you.
Horrible food, worse service – By far the worst mexican food I have ever eaten. Maybe I'm a little harsh because i'm from Houston where there are real MEXICANS. My waiter didn't even know what queso was when I asked. Food was overpriced and tasted like caca. That's poo in spanish. It cost me 10 bucks for two sodas with one refill. My wifes tostada was the side of a silver dollar, with canned refried beans and three strands of grated cheese. My enchiladas had grated cheese inside them that wasn't even melted. The chips I could of bought at the closest grocery store. If you people think that this place is good mexican food your in for a big surprise. My waiter looked mexican but I don't think he could speak english or spanish. I wouldn't urine on this place if it was on fire. Don't waste your time or money. Mezcals is a disgrace to mexican food accross the world!!!!!
Okay food, lousy service – This was my first time here, and I live in the neighborhood. I have to say that while the food was pretty decent, the service left a lot to be desired. They sat us at a dirty table, and then cleaned it once we sat down. Then, when my fiance went to the bathroom, they asked if I (we?) wanted a drink. They should have waited for us both to be there! Once she returned, it took them a LONG time to ask for our order. The restaurant was practically empty. Chips were brought to the table only when we ordered drinks and food. They were tasteless and I had to salt them. As SOON as I had finished my last bite of the main course, the waiter flew over, said "Finished??", and grabbed my plate away as if he had a plane to catch. The good thing was, they must have been in such a hurry, they forgot to charge us for the drinks.
Good food, nasty child with yo-yo – Husband was pelted by a yo-yo-wielding yuppie child skipping through the back yard to the delight of yuppie parents. Yuppie parents did try to get child to apologize, but child ran away to target another patron. Hey, it takes a village, right?
If You Like Mexican Food This Is a Must Try.... – I'm not sure what was afflicting the previous reviewer, because Mezcal's is an excellent restaurant. I will admit that the service can get a bit spotty when it comes to getting water, but other than that it's great. The food is always superb, the flechas are excellent, i always get not dinner, not the appetizer size. The margaritas are EXCELLENT!!!!!! Not sure if I can emphasize this enough....EXCELLENT!!! If you like something sweet the chango loco or the pink cadillac, I really like the siete leguas. Please pay no mind to the one sour apple reviewer, Mezcal's is a great place to eat.
bad atmosphere – Decent fajitas, terrible syrupy margaritas. WAY OVER PRICED!
I don?t know what the past reviewers were thinking but $17 dollar fajitas and $7 margaritas is too much to pay for a place with zero atmosphere and sub par service.
Good Old Standby – When I first moved to the area, I wanted to find a good Mexican restaurant immediately. I found it and it is Mezcal's. It's not the prettiest place in the neighborhood but it is so worth it. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and quick and the margaritas are downright addictive. I am not proud to say, I've never left there without having at least two. This restaurant is also vegetarian friendly making it the perfect Mexican restaurant in my book.
Great food. – The food is fresh, hot and plentiful and so very delicious. And the prices are terrific. The waiters are friendly and caring. Enjoy!
Authentic Food – Service could be improved, we never received water refills but other than that the food was authentic Mexican. My family and I (four Mexican Americans) ate in silence because the food was that great. I strongly recommend the beef flautas. Chimichangas and soft tacos were great too.
